Those screencaps determined it. I am buying this. Now. And apples now make me happy.  |

I finally watched this! Yay!  I feel the need to review it. The film geek/acting obsessor half of me is particularly prevalent today. Sooo... The film itself was gorgeous. I thought the cinematography, soundtrack, sets, and costumes all worked amazingly well together. Everything around looked so realistic. But the unnatural amount of beauty of the two leads and the smoke enveloping everything added a surreal, hazy effect. The contrast just "clicked" so perfectly. As for the acting... Marlene Dietrich was amazing in it, especially considering she was fed the lines and could barely speak English. I thought she was a unique character, especially considering the time the movie was made. It was a role made for Dietrich (it was literally made for her, really, since she and the director were having a....dalliance at the time, so he just built all his movies around her, which worked surprisingly well, I think). As for Gary--I thought his movements, facial expressions, all that stuff--it was perfect, right on par. I just thought sometimes he didn't sound....seductive enough to fit the character. Then again, if he had managed to keep that voice the entire time, it would have caused massive heart attacks worldwide.  Still, Gary was great in the role, and he performed that apple scene gloriously, pouring forth every minute particle of sexiness that could possibly come out while eating a piece of fruit. No one could do that scene better than him. *drool* |

I'm glad you got to see this one and liked it Magenta. It's a real fun, romantic, adventure, escapist film. It is beautifully filmed and has a really dreamy quality to it. I'm not much of a Dietrich fan but I liked her in the two films she did with Gary. Of course, I fast forward through her singing, I just can't take it.  |

Her voice is a bit frightening, but very fun to imitate. ;D

It is beautifully filmed and has a really dreamy quality to it. It is a beautiful film. But so melancholic. "I understand that men are never asked why they entered the Foreign Legion... there's a foreign legion of women, too." |

...eventually it found its way outside all by itself 
, the balcony door was open, looking at me as if to say: Feed Me! They know I do but apparently it wasn't enough. :
